Lemmy Raise Hell !

I'll never forget the Night I got to see these guys. My boyfriend was schooling me at the time
in Bands like The Damned, Black Sabbath~ MØtorhead.....
 Cromags, Old school Metallica, BadBrains, SAMHAIN, The icemen and of course the hardcore sounds of
BACH~ Toccata & Fugue in D minor.
Most of the time I was half baked, nothing interested me more, at the time ,t hen a fat doob ! SO,
~ climbing into the back of John Gambles Huge boxy car,
I Can;t; remember wether it was like some old Plymouth or Cadillac ...
but the back seat
swallowed Me and Marco up.
There was no air between us.
The front seat was a couch ,Gamble's girl slid all the way over right by his side too.
We were on an adventure. I felt like I was in a dream.
I was floating.

I do believe the venue was in Queens somewhere~in 86' or 1987...?
perhaps the spring? L'amour East in Elmhurst...could that have been the Venue?!!
or was it the one in Brooklyn?
We walked in and the crowd was wild for these guys. I think I was just so new to their
sound~ I hadn;t "grown up" yet to the hard rock sounds of their particular graces.
Marco had sown the seed, it was just
in'it's infancy stages. It was my first hardcore moshpit sort of show....
scared little wannabe witch girl
I was.
I felt a tad like a foreigner...
Marco held me close ~ protected from Moshpit dangers. And When I say LOUD>
MØTORHEAD PLAYED LOUD.
I would go to CBGB"S all the time, I just had this sincere fear
for authority
 and never messed in the game of fake ID cards , like all my other friends,
so I would always just stand outside..... little did I know all I was missing.
Sometimes it takes alittle while before the magic takes root, that;s all.
All good things in All good time.
Nice to Know Lemmy went out inside his own home.

"When we look at the ocean, we see that each wave has a beginning and an end. A wave can be compared with other waves, and we can call it more or less beautiful, higher or lower, longer lasting or less long lasting. But if we look more deeply, we see that a wave is made of water. While living the life of a wave, it also lives the life of water. It would be sad if the wave did not know that it is water. It would think, Some day, I will have to die. This period of time is my life span, and when I arrive at the shore, I will return to nonbeing. These notions will cause the wave fear and anguish. We have to help it remove the notions of self, person, living being, and life span if we want the wave to be free and happy.
A wave can be recognized by signs — high or low, beginning or ending, beautiful or ugly. But in the world of the water, there are no signs. In the world of relative truth, the wave feels happy as she swells, and she feels sad when she falls. She may think, "I am high," or "I am low," and develop a superiority or inferiority complex. But when the wave touches her true nature — which is water — all her complexes will cease, and she will transcend birth and death. We become arrogant when things go well, and we are afraid of falling, or being low or inadequate. But these are relative ideas, and when they end, a feeling of completeness and satisfaction arises. Liberation is the ability to go from the world of signs to the world of true nature. We need the relative world of the wave, but we also need to touch the water, the ground of our being, to have real peace and joy. We shouldn't allow relative truth to imprison us and keep us from touching absolute truth. Looking deeply into relative truth, we penetrate the absolute. Relative and absolute truths inter-embrace. Both truths, relative and absolute, have a value."
From: 'The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching Transforming Suffering into Peace Joy and Liberation' by Thích Nhất Hạnh
